Do you ever find yourself struggling to get out of bed in the morning, feeling groggy, or just not yourself? A poor night’s sleep could be to blame! You can take steps below to improve your quality of sleep:
- Go to bed and wake up at the same time each day (even on weekends, when possible)
- Avoid exercise and bright, artificial light an hour before bed
- Avoid large meals and alcoholic drinks a few hours before bed
- Avoid nicotine
- Limit caffeine to the morning hours
- Get active every day
- Make sure your room is dark, quiet, and cool before you head to bed
